Energy levels can greatly impact how people tackle day-to-day activities – from working to exercising to completing common chores. To further understand how many people experience 'Low E' and the impacts it has on their lives, Planet Fitness commissioned a national study**, which found that 89 percent of people would be willing to give up something they cherish just to have high energy for a year, including online shopping for a month (40 percent), social media (36 percent), caffeine (33 percent) for a year, or even sex for a month (33 percent). Additional findings include:

• Suffering from 'Low E.' Nearly 9 in 10 (89 percent) of people do not have extremely high energy, with 50 percent blaming 'Low E' on aging and 42 percent saying their energy plummets when they are stressed or worried.
• Battle of the 'Low E'-xes. Of those who suffer from low energy, women are more likely than men to feel more tired on a daily basis, with 52 percent saying energy levels decreased with age (vs. 48 percent of men). Furthermore, people feel like they wouldn't be able to accomplish tasks with their current energy levels – with more than half (52 percent) saying they don't have the energy to run a mile.
• Energy is Essential. 58 percent of people would use a full tank of unlimited energy to complete their chores for the week, where one in two (51 percent) people would use it to exercise.
• The Gift of Energy. 71 percent of people admit they'd offer the gift of energy to someone else, with 42 percent saying a spouse or partner would be their top recipient.

"Many people have been struggling with low energy – especially coming out of the pandemic and from the hustle and bustle of the holidays – but they're ready to shake off the fatigue and reenergize themselves. We know that exercise and physical activity can help boost energy, and Planet Fitness is here to support members on their fitness journeys by helping them prioritize their health and wellness, so they can get back to feeling good," said Jamie Medeiros, Chief Brand Officer at Planet Fitness.
